[QUOTE="FLRob, post: 466483, member: 12932"] Thanks for the welcome. We divorced when she was 3. She is off the ADD medications. Her mother was the custodial parent until she was 8, and then she decided she was going to move across the country with her boyfriend (now husband) and my daughter's half-sister. I took it to court and won to stop her from taking her. She chose not to stay and relinquished custody to me, which caused some fairly severe abandonment issues. Her mother returned a few years later and we split custody but her mother and her are oil and water, and at the same time their personalities are very similar. Most days she simply hates her mother. I tried to encourage their relationship, but since her mother's idea of child rearing involved spanking and yelling it didn't get far. She has chosen to see her once in 3 months. I'm sure that this had a lot to do with my daughter's problems, but the lying and manipulative traits have always been around. Anyway, my daughter came home from a friend's house tonight in a good mood. It was like this morning never happened. In response to the possibility of drugs posted above, I will test her again. The last time I tested her a few weeks ago I was convinced she was using but the test was clean. I have also gone through her room and found nothing. I think that if she has another freak out I will take her directly to a lab and get her tested for everything under the sun, just to rule that out. The irony is that I have a LOT of experience drug testing people in my profession and I work with drug addicts daily. I just don't see the typical signs of use. Generally, it is easy to hide drug use in the short term, but there are dozens of "tells" that give it away. I haven't seen any of that with her - no missing money or valuables, no changes in appetite or hygiene, weight fluctuation, excessive sleep, etc. [/QUOTE]
